Hey CATs!
The #LetsGreenTheWeb (https://climateaction.tech/blog/letsgreentheweb-together/) campaign is a focused, 5-day Twitter campaign to encourage folk to constructively engage with the issue of carbon emissions from digital services - particularly websites. The campaign will run on Twitter over the course of a week from February 15â19. It’s easy to support, with lots of further actions if you’re interested. Find out how to help Green the Web on the CAT blog (https://climateaction.tech/blog/letsgreentheweb-together/)
